  • Orientalism and the Fantasy of Brotherhood in South Korean Cinema’S North Korean Action Hero Films
    Vol. 1 Journal of Korean and Asian Arts SPRING 2020 Orientalism and the Fantasy of Brotherhood in South Korean Cinema’s North Korean Action Hero Films Kelly Y. Jeong / University of California at Riverside 【Abstract】 In the past decade there have been several popular South Korean action genre films that focus on North Korean spies or government agents. In these films, the North Korean protagonist has superhuman physical strength and combat capacity, as well as a kind of purity of ideology and integrity, while his Southern counterpart is older, wiser, and with more human frailties. I call this category of action sub-genre films North Korean action hero films. In this essay I argue that such films reflect the cultural unconscious of South Korea’s Orientalist fantasy about North Korean masculinity (and society), which especially manifests in the films’ plot as an intense focus on the North Korean action hero’s perfect, strong body, combined with a nod towards the ultimate superiority of his Southern counterpart. Further, the paper shows the centrality of biopolitics in the films’ plot, as both regimes subject the protagonists to neoliberal practices in order to intervene and manage their bodies and futures. The two protagonists often bond, in fact, via their anti-neoliberal characteristics. The paper will then conclude by examining the current South Korean action genre cinema in light of its use of female characters and diegetic time. 【key words】 South Korean action genre cinema, North Korean action heroes, Orientalism, Neoliberalism, Biopilitics, Gender Introduction n the past decade South Korean cinema has produced several popular action I genre films that focus on North Korean spies or government agents.

  • Goldsmiths College University of London Locating Contemporary
    Goldsmiths College University of London Locating Contemporary South Korean Cinema: Between the Universal and the Particular Seung Woo Ha A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the department of Media and Communications January 2013 1 DECLARATION I, Seung Woo Ha confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed……………………….. Date…..…10-Jan-2013……… 2 ABSTRACT The thesis analyses contemporary South Korean films from the late 1980s up to the present day. It asks whether Korean films have produced a new cinema, by critically examining the criteria by which Korean films are said to be new. Have Korean films really changed aesthetically? What are the limitations, and even pitfalls in contemporary Korean film aesthetics? If there appears to be a true radicalism in Korean films, under which conditions does it emerge? Which films convey its core features? To answer these questions, the study attempts to posit a universalising theory rather than making particular claims about Korean films. Where many other scholars have focused on the historical context of the film texts’ production and their reception, this thesis privileges the film texts themselves, by suggesting that whether those films are new or not will depend on a film text’s individual mode of address. To explore this problem further, this study draws on the concept of ‘concrete universality’ from a Lacanian/Žižekian standpoint. For my purpose, it refers to examining how a kind of disruptive element in a film text’s formal structure obtrudes into the diegetic reality, thus revealing a cinematic ‘distortion’ in the smooth running of reality.

  • Song Kang-Ho and the Uncanny Face of the Korean Cinema
    ACTA KOR ANA VOL. 14, NO. 1, JUNE 2011: 33–71 SOMEWHERE BETWEEN ANTI-HEROISM AND PANTOMIME: SONG KANG-HO AND THE UNCANNY FACE OF THE KOREAN CINEMA By BRIAN YECIES This article explores the trajectory of Song Kang-ho’s on-screen performances from the release of his fourth film, Number 3 (1997), to one of his most recent films, Thirst (2009). As a case study, it reveals new insights about this popular and representative actor’s numerous screen personae and how they have enabled audiences to peer into a cine- matic surface that reflects back a mixture of anti-heroism and pantomime. Beneath the many costumes and performance styles he adopts, audiences have come to see a human being with everyday problems and concerns. In a way reminiscent of the French panto- mime clown Pierrot, Song’s characters reflect a depth of human feeling and compassion modulated by a comic undercurrent—the tension between these overlapping layers is precisely what holds his various personae together. Key words: Song Kang-ho, Korean Cinema, stardom, Park Chan-wook, Kim Jee-woon INTRODUCTION Every actor and actress constructs a persona over the course of his or her career, but few become stars. A star is an actor whose persona transcends the sum total of his or her performances (Belton 1994: 89). Song Kang-ho is a classic movie star whose acting ability is well known to the film industry and whose performances are appreciated by audiences in South Korea (hereafter Korea) and abroad. He has acted in some of the contemporary Korean cinema’s most profitable and critically acclaimed feature films, productions which have contributed to the national film industry’s current global notoriety.
